Episode 9: For the Seafood Lover in You Tuesday, March 27th, 2007
YAKS 9 stands on a precipice. On one side, the fun-loving, free-styling YAKS crew visits an entertaining, yet vastly disappointing Mickey Avavlon appearance at the appropriately dubbed “Whiskey Dick’s”. On the other side, Pench, jHo, and “The Producer” aka Lil ‘C, come face to face with the realization that producing a podcast with little to no preparation yields mixed results: You can’t always catch fire in a bottle; You also can’t make butter with a toothpick. Will Yaks find their voice, or is this the requiem to a wet dream?
jHo, Pench and Lil’ C are back w/another YAKS lite episode. This brief but explosive show visits the world of spoon fed pop culture - from CNN’s triumphant coverage of a desperate lear jet’s demise split screened with breathless Anna Nicole Smith’s corpse battle. A quick belch about Britney, and a mind blowin’ feature song from Kosher phenom Mickey Avalon that leaves the YAK crew in question of their talent. But Pench produces a life saving rap that puts YAKS back on top. Undercurrents: dj shadow, rjd2, and sigur ros.
Join Pench, jHo n’ Lil’ C as they launch a new and improved condensed YAKS lite episode. With the clock ticking and liquor and travel on the mind, Pench ressurects his money saving tips: Smuggling tips for Cruises. Jho questions Pench’s musical pick for bringing in the truly lame Bloc Party tune last episode. To save face, Pench lights up the microphones with a old skool tribute to ‘Dem Nati Bengals. Feature band = New Young Pony Club. Undercurrents: RJD2, Beastie Boys, DJ Shadow & Air
